Name: Shadow Wave
Duration: P00H03M01S
Description: The prompt here was that no two sounds could fall on a beat at the same time, but vocals could. That's why it sounds so weird that the bass synth and the fake drums never hit together. The lyrics were written entirely in a stream of consciousness, while I was sitting on the edge of the Columbia River at Broughton Beach, near my house.

lyrics

See a boat drift by and I say hi.
I wish that boat was mine.
I have a bike and it's one I really like.
But I want to be out on the sea.
Or in the river here in front of me.
The sun is hot but the wind makes it cool.

It's been a lot of days since last we met.
A Monday Tuesday maybe I forget.
I know it really doesn't matter when.
But now you got me going again.
There are pieces scattered everywhere.
Pictures in my head, and in the cloud.

There's a bunch of real clouds in the sky.
Thank goodness it's not raining now.
Please take me from the rain.
I want the sun to be my friend all day.
Carry me into the summer please.
Leave me there to do my shadow wave.

Can we look at things together then?
Share in this space-time continuum.
